NOPE.
A man in Austria has been bitten by his neighbour’s python during an early-morning visit to the toilet, Austrian police have said.
The python, a constrictor native to Asia, is thought to have slithered in through the drains after it had apparently escaped from a neighbouring apartment.
“Shortly after he sat on the toilet the Graz resident – by his own account – felt a ‘pinch’ in the area of his genitals,” the police said in a statement.
He was treated in hospital for minor injuries.
The 1.6 metre snake was retrieved from the toilet by a reptile expert and returned to its owner.
Police said the man’s 24-year-old neighbour kept 11 non-venomous snakes and a gecko in his apartment and now faces charges an investigation on suspicion of causing bodily harm by negligence.
Reticulated pythons are the world’s largest snakes and can grow to 6.5 metres in length. They not known for attacking humans but can do so if they feel threatened.
